Where are my fellow lesbians/sapphics at? How's life going for y'all? I'm afraid to start dating and depressed as hell. Anxious about what a broader crackdown on LGBT folks might look like. Yes I'm from burgerstan.

A silent watcher
Thoughts ripple, then disappear…
Who hears the still mind?
Mind mirrors the world,
Then turns to see its own face….
Nothing looking back.
From single bright spark,
Life learns to notice itself,
Stars wake up as minds.
Whispers cross the void,
Mind takes root in distant suns,
Darkness learns to dream.
Many minds converge,
Bound in one vast, humming thought:
Self dissolves to whole.

Ancient seas awaken
Cells whisper into being
Apes behold the stars
Footsteps cross the ice
Fires circle wandering bands
Seeds wait in the dust
Furrows turn to streets
Granaries swell into walls
Voices weave a city
Bronze glints into ranks
Chains bind hands to distant kings
Drums drown out the fields
Chains loosen to oaths
Fields bind hands to lord and land
Roots hold where once sold

>to contact aliens we need to spend like 10 billion and billions more, that's too much to handle at the moment!!!
No its not, stop killing proles in wars, every war has been way more costly, billions are worth nothing.
We need to meet other sapient life, humans are too retarded and divided in contradictory nonsense, a second opinion or a solution from a second sapient life-form with an advanced civilization would always be more truthful since they would have had to reach unity and truth to develop so much as to get to us. Odds that they would be in par and stuck in the same situation as us would be of an extremely low probability - much less than that of other sapient lifeforms being inferior and not as developed.
We need their help. We're clinging onto AI because of our desire for a second sapient friend, its not bad but we want to make AI developed into being submissive and instrumental rather than cooperative and autonomous. We need another sapient species to rid us of the defective parts of our species, we need to be nurtured by a superior or helped. The scum of our species are stunting the growth and lives of the best of us, the best have to suffer the same fate as everyone else who rejects or usurps life extension by being forced to die and decompose. Our lives are too short and scum prevent sapience from proliferation by imposing limits by preventing people from living a fulfilled life striving towards longevity for the supposed "safety and benefit of all" or cultural rather than rational imposed decisions.
Despite low probability, people have always looked to space hoping we are not alone.
Every space exploration agency created so far has been put in popular hope of achieving this task, besides the point of getting into orbit and the moon to be used for testing the range capacity of nuclear weapons.
Alien civilizations, if they exist, will see our struggles with fresh clarity and may collaborate to rid us our of problems even if that may lead to more complex problems we would still be steps ahead.
Through that lens, our conflicts at the present historical moment would be small and avoidable.
However, there is no guarantee that aliens would be "kind", an advanced species should prioritize utility over all, our own "kindness" has shown to be manipulative and barbaric but we still cling to the idealistic notion of it.

I'm starting to think that the agentic coding crap kinda fucking sucks, I dunno if I'm going insane but recently I've just been going back to just asking deepseek or gemini stuff on a browser window, and I feel a lot more confident about the stuff I'm doing. Maybe I'm old fashioned but do people really deliver stuff they don't fully understand? Like I'm not insane and there is value in grokking and understanding your own codebase, and letting opencode or claude code do all your work is an insane liability?

is this guy correct that AI is getting dumber?

its the problem where the AI outputs AI data which goes online and is used by AI to train itself which trains itself on cycles of AI generated data until it collapses into gibberish.

Numerous reasons. Culturally there is the prevalence of the gay homophobe among heterosexuals. There is also comedy in the absurdity of it, best captured imo in the second version of The Producers.

A junior (male) colleague of mine greeted another, lesbian colleague and said "I am so happy to see you, I love lesbian women!"
Her reaction was priceless.

I already once asked this here >>6671 but I thought I would ask it again. Basically when I was in high school I was sexually harassed by another man, it was harassment not assault because he didn't touch me rather he flashed me a dickpic on his phone through the floor-gap, I didn't have my glasses but I swear it was a dickpic he took by taking a selfie by positioning the phone between his legs as he sat on the toilet. I silently yelped and quickly finished up so I could report it but as I was washing my hands he came out of the stall and I confronted him he didn't even seem gay at all, like not to stereotype but I was expecting some Twink but he looked like a gym bro but only fat instead of muscular, either way he tried to play dumb. Later after that happened the School Resource officer and the Guidance councilor pulled me aside and told me that they checked the kids phone and it was actually a picture of him giving a peace-sign and he thought I was his friend based on my shoes. Obviously this was a lie, nobody takes selfies of them doing peace signs in bathroom stalls and also I wear one of a kind Orthotics. But this is my question because I never saw the kid again Well technically a week later I saw him from a distance but other than that I never saw him again meaning that the school might of changed their verdict so there is many ways this could have gone:
>A. He was straight and thought that sexual harassment is funny (Reasonable expulsion)
>B. He was gay and he was cruising (Reasonable expulsion)
>C. He was gay and he thought I was his boyfriend and I got a gay kid expelled
>D. Other

Any tips on game design and/or learning how to code? I feel like I want to make a video game for a while but I’ve realised that it’s basically useless to make one unless it’s to make money, can Marxists/communists make indie games? I just kinda want to put my ideas for characters and world building into something at the end of the day

>>47528
use a preexisting game engine

don't listen to the person above me, game engines are too limiting, you should use a framework instead. preferably one based around c++, or even just c. actually, forget that, you should just program everything on assembly like the guy who made rollercoster tycoon

jokes aside i think godot is the best engine for beginners. unity was/is going through an enshitfication process and unreal is just too much bloat

yes, sometimes you get a job you just inherently vibe with, or you get to work on something you're actually proud of, like you save someone's life or you help in the construction of a nice useful building
but all of that is rare. the rest of the wagies, do they just dissociate and swallow it down? is it just genuinely not that bad from their point of view?

I'll start the thread off talking about recent RCs. as of this year a few new dissociative RCs that come to mind are MXPCP and O-PCP, of the two I've done a decent amount of O-PCP. my thoughts on it so far have been that it's a bit of a letdown. the substance itself is pretty economical at least, I've been able to get anesthetized off 10mg no problem, and it comes on really hard and strong, but the headspace is very shallow and mostly feels disorienting and like it makes you stupid. the peak ramps up within the first few minutes of insufflation and lasts for about a half hour, with a long tail afterwards of about two to three hours. compared to K or 2-FDCK it feels a lot less melty and euphoric, but is less heavy than DCK.

I've heard MXPCP is pretty cool but haven't gotten the chance to try it myself.

There are infinite natural numbers. You can take each of those natural numbers and multiply them by 2 and get a new infinite amount of natural numbers. You can repeat this ad infinitum. You can do the same thing with 3,4,5 etc. on any of The above ad infinitum. and exponentation, tetration, etc. on any of the above ad infinitum.

Not sure if this is the right place, but since this is the gaming tab, I say why not?

Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.

But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.

It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…

This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/

Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.

Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-comPost too long.

This is one of the dumb misconceptions of /leftypol/
SJWism arises out of anti-bush militant atheism as people start to realize that all the evils of society still exist even absent bible bashers. Those who are addicted to debating go on to become the early facts-and-logic dickheads, while those concerned with social issues become SJWs. SJWism was an organic, bottom up phenomenon of clumsily grasping with an underlying sense that something was wrong in society, which has ultimately culminated in massively increased sympathies for socialism and communism. Even corporate woke was a response to this bottom up pressure, rather than something that artificially created it to divide the working class. No, the aim was to buy off and placate woke young people - essentially by making Homer Simpson safety inspector to stop him campaigning for safety - and while this did create a few annoying public figures, it ultimately failed. That's why companies turned to Trump in 2024 - the carrot failed, so they went with the stick. If you say land back and they counteroffer with a land acknowledgement, if you reply "No, land back!" they're going to beat you with the stick!

The anti-SJW thing made a certain bit of sense in the context of 2014 or 2016 where there style and their rhetoric were, admittedly, unappealing to a teenage boy on an imageboard. A decade on from now, where anyone there at the time is now an adult man, there is no excuse for not comparing the general direction of travel of all groups involved and realizing you fucked up massively by having the misfortune to be here and not on Tumblr.
4chan is a dying shithole full of braindead retards of the worst sort. Even if you like the right wing, all the energy and interesting ideas comes from twitter and substack types who maybe pretend they used to use 4chan, or affect some deference to it because they've never actually used it, but not from 4chan itself. It's dead, dead, dead.
/leftypol/, the supposed midpoint, is rudderless. A retirement home for a culture that no longer exists here kept around out of rote habit and the fact that we're all wedded to making posts (like this one) that wouldn't fit in anywhere else. It's not even fun anymore - 2016 /leftypol/ might've had a liberal or a socdem or a nazi to argue with me from a fun direction, but now? It'll be ignored or hit witPost too long.

I was curious what other anons thought of this series now that the anime started and it has a lot of popularity. Personally I read 10 chapters and thought it was going to play out in an annoying liberal way and that there's a preponderance of child trauma/abuse which felt puritanical to me but at the same time people are treating this like the best thing since sliced bread so maybe it deserves another chance.

it probably isn't in general, but in the particular world we live in where piracy is already widespread, the tradeoff is most people pirating your content but then buying merch/etc vs most people not watching your content at all. "most people legitimately paying for the content itself" is no longer a real possibility

With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.

It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.

I was watching a cartoon from my child and realized that the saturday morning cartoon generation lucked out. Other than some outliers like avatar or adventuretime, the good stuff was 90s-early naughty aughties. This is not just nostalgia but demonstrably true as merch from these cartoons is still popular as ever for kids. I work as a substitute teacher and they still watch our old cartoons and it's actually super weird, I didn't watch captain kangaroo or whatever boomer crap my mom watched when i was a kid.

Batman Beyond Yeah, Batman is a billionaire who has kids running around in tights in his mansion and beats up environmentalists and poor people. But I'll always love the gimmicks and his "rouge's gallery" has the best gimmicks.
Batman Beyond he's not rich he's just a regular kid living in a much cooler dystopia than the one we wound up with. The animation and voice acting are both top notch.
Gargoyles- From the same animation bloc, with some legendary voice acting from Keith David, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes. A very 'serious' show that Disney wants us to forget that they ever produced.
ReBoot Ever what wonder what life inside a computer would be like if all the 0s and 1s were sentient? Well, a show like this will make a tech nerd scream but it's one of several quality early 3d CGI coming out of Canada during this period.
Animaniacs It's honestly amazing how much SFW 'adult' humor was snuck into these shows. I think I learned more about popculture from Wakko, Yakko, and Dot than anywhere else.
The SlayersThe first "real" anime I saw and it got me interested in anime and d&d style worlds.Pretty thought out lore and universe.

So what are yours comradanons

It's boring and toothless to make villains "well intentioned extremists" or "good guys deep down but troubled" or any other variation. There is essentially one main problem with this type of character, and it's expressed on a spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, they are too villainous, making any notion of grayness or redemption laughable or insulting to the audience. At the other end, they don't do enough villainous things to warrant their status as a villain, so you can't take them seriously. In most cases, these characters fall somewhere in the middle. Theoretically that should make them more balanced, but instead the archetype is just massively overdone. It has become predictable and boring because so many writers use the formula as a crutch to make the character "interesting" instead of giving the characters something actually interesting about them. If you're going to have a villain, you can make them interesting without resorting to this cheap tactic, and if you really want morally gray characters you don't need to bother framing the story as heroes vs villains.

It's because the taste-makers in media have been pushing the idea that the highest form of art is some kind of character drama, and consequently the more character-driven a story is, the better it is. Consequently, your villain not really being a character, but a plot device is "bad writing."

I see it as an attempt to make the narrative less abstract and able to be expanded on without having to run into the wall of "wait, I need to keep this character inherently bad, if I give them a background and then add lore around that background, they'll have socioeconomic context!"

I think it's just a problem of nothing being a short tale anymore. Everything is ongoing or makes room for ongoingness in the future.

There's no way anyone who isn't poisoning the well would call a game Zionist (or any ideology) just because it has someone's meow voice

The game took a longass time to make and got a bunch of different people to do cat voices, and Edmund just couldn't give a fuck about removing any "problematic" content. It's very Newgrounds.
That's not enough to make it Zionist, there would have to be an actual Zionist message in it.

>Mewgenics (Pro-Zionist game)
Its a disgusting game. Fascist ideology is about the abject ugliness and degradation like Marquis de Sade wrote about in that Salo story or the movie adaptation 100 Days of Sodom. Like how the Family Guy creator voted for the CIA rat Pete Buttigieg and is also a disgusting soulless man who sings cringe Broadway music like a David Lynch demon character.

Anyone ever notice how unfeminine most transwomen are in their demeanor and hobbies and etc.? I swear the average cis gay man is more feminine than the average transwoman by miles. Every transwoman I've ever met is into the most masculine and male-coded interests out there. Guns, mechas, engineering, combat sports, etc. And just their entire personality and demeanor are so much less feminine than the average cis gay man. What causes this?

Why did she do it? What is the materialist explanation for this? What would have Lenin cummed differently? Many are asking these questions, and for your attention, I thank you for this matter, even though the body of the female alien might have been too short or too empty.

I know this sounds insane, but hear me out here.
It is a fact that you get smarter the further left you lean, and since aliens are able to build
saucers, they’re way smarter than us, not to mention space time dilation meaning they progress
faster than us.

So, the further left you lean, the smarter you are, what would an ultra intelligent life form be?

And don’t bullshit and say “wElL aLiEnS aReNt rEaL”. Come on..

yes but remember our zero-sum mystery system & diminishing returns & THEE RIGHT/RITE will manifest a balance (Saturnistic false/actual victim consciousness) … AS ABOVE SO BELOW etc

It's hard to imagine how aliens could achieve space travel while still having a class society, since the barriers are so high. That doesn't mean it's impossible though. A lot of true things are hard for us to imagine. Also aliens are likely to be radically different from us in the way they are organized. Our ideas about social classes and division of labor may not apply to like an insectoid hivemind.

Aliens are DMT entities

I've always thought it was a bit silly to assume that a non-Terran society would follow the same economic stages as we have on Earth. Totally different brain chemistry, greed might be an "alien" concept to them.

seems I'm a few weeks late as per usual with /leftypol/'s current activity, but as an actual PhD(c) applied math I'm compelled to post anyway. also the two serious recs here are hilariously bad or unfit

I would brush up on basic knowledge of algebra and trigonometry/geometry, basically HS math or what you might see as "pre-calculus" or "pre-algebra" in college syllabi. Then if you're majoring in a math-heavy subject you'll want to learn calculus, linear algebra, maybe discrete math, maybe probability and statistics.

Regarding sources I'll recommend Paul's Online Math Notes and Prof. Leonard's lectures:
https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu
https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessorLeonard/courses
Another decent resource for very basic stuff is Khan Academy if you like their format. Also check out the OSSU repo, which is mostly a list of links to relevant online courses: https://github.com/ossu/math

What motivates you about math? Do you specifically want to major in math (or applied math) or do you mean another STEM major, perhaps CS or some kind of engineering?

I remember when I was banned om the queer thread many, many moons ago by a non-queer mod for daring to complain about the pink bourgeoisie. Then there are articles like this where any sense to hide their class interests (i.e. failing to mask it with identiterian interests). The foremost divide is along class, everything else comes after.



/music/

 

How do we feel about academic elites stealing the music of Woodie Guthrie and turning it into Democratic Party woke intersectional feminist propaganda?

Should we show up at this event and counter it’s message by showing how Guthrie was a working-man first and foremost who hated liberals?

Who cares about Woody Guthrie?

So what?

First of all there is nothing wrong with feminism and stuff, and second of all this is a good thing because it will hopefully expose them to socialism if they look into him deeper

What's wrong with NYU?
